How are we destroying our rich heritage : A case of Mahalakshmi Mandir

Recently, I visited Mahalakshmi Temple at Kohlapur. One among the ‘Shaktipeethas’, Kolhapur attracts the pilgrims of the world. They visit Kolhapur to pray goddess Ambabai (Mahalaxmi) for a peaceful & healthy life. It is considered that the darshan of Shri. Balaji of Tirumala is incomplete without visiting goddess Mahalaxmi of Kolhapur.

The temple has a rich history. It was originally constructed during  Chalukya Rule (550 A. D. to 660 A. D.) 

However, the ancient temple was destroyed by an earthquake that took place in 8th century A.D. Yet several ruins of the first structure are found today in various part of the current temple. The ancient petite idol is found in a small structure next to the stairs, between Goddess Mahalakshmi and Goddess Mahasaraswati’s sancta sanctorum. On the other side of the same stairs is a sculpture of a boar carrying Goddess Earth on its tusk. The boar represents one of the avatar of Lord Vishnu. Besides, a boar was also the emblem of Chalukya Kings of Badami. Right behind the sculpture of boar is an inscription depicting a bull, Shivaling and a sword.To the right of the stairs that lead from the “Ganapati Mandap” to the courtyard on the side of Goddess Mahasaraswati’s Sanctum lay some more remains of the ancient temple. These masterpieces of art include a part of the spire with the sun disc having 12 zodiac signs. An intricately carved panel of ‘Jain Tirthankars’15 is placed above this spire. On the left side of the stairs is a sculpture of moon and a standing eagle with its hands joined together.
In the superstructure of the temple, on the first storey, lies a Ganapati idol with stone carving behind it that carries a Kirtimukh  in the centre. This symbol of the ferocious lion is representative of the Chalukya era. Similarly a sculpture of Vyala16  is found near the staircase leading to the superstructure. It is 

Some more remains of the ancient epoch lie elsewhere. To cite a few, on the either side of the Mahadwar , are two sculptures, one of a majestic bull in seated position and the other of a ram. Below the five Deepmalas  is located a Nagsheela, with five hoods. Also in the same place are found Shivalingas facing the North. All the aforementioned sculptures seem to be the relics of the earlier temple. Some sculptures of Vyala, Kirtimukh as well as nymphs and other ladies are found in the Town Hall Museum in Kolhapur. A survey of these sculptures proves that the former structure of the temple was inspired by the Badami  style of temples and was built in the Chalukya era in and around the place where today stands the sanctum of Goddess Mahasaraswati.

Construction of this temple  took over several centuries. Thereby the architecture styles of the respective era come to the fore. The innermost part was reconstructed by Shilahara King Jatig I which was later expanded by King Gandaraditya of the same dynasty and much later by King Singhan of Yadava Dynasty. Their reigns spanned from 9th to 13th century. From 13th to 15th century additions of structures like Deepmala . Nagarkhana  etc., were done. The outermost protruding part was constructed in wood in the Maratha Period. 

This is the rich heritage and background of the temple. But if you look the way the temple is reconstructed , you will definitely feel pathetic about.The entire old structure is in black stone, consisting of big and small stone blocks, on the outer walls gods and goddess engraved in the same black stone. With the passing time many of them are defaced, not much is done to restore the past glory.The temple dome, instead of kept in the original black stone, it is painted looks ugly patch in the grand and glorious structure. Cleanliness is completely missing in the temple campus.

My straight question is that in case we can not construct such majestic structures atleast we should keep the rich past glory as it is.
